Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of preparation and application of electrocatalysts, and particularly relates to a Ru-M bimetallic monoatomic catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
With the rapid development of world economy and the continuous growth of global population, the global energy shortage problem, the environmental pollution problem and the climate warming problem caused by the greenhouse effect are increasingly severe, so that the development of new energy technologies is urgently needed. Proton exchange membrane fuel cells and metal air cells are considered clean new energy storage and conversion devices. The kinetics of the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction, which is the core step thereof, are very slow, requiring a noble metal Pt/C catalyst. However, pt resources are short, cost is high, stability is poor, and thus development of a Pt-free based catalyst having high activity and high stability is urgently required. In recent years, transition metal doped M-N-C catalysts have demonstrated excellent oxygen reduction performance, especially Fe-N-C catalysts. However, further improvement of oxygen reduction performance is limited due to the single reaction site of the single-atom catalyst and the single adsorption mode of the oxygen reduction reaction intermediate. Furthermore, on monoatomic sites, oxygen tends to adsorb in Pauling mode, which makes the cleavage of O-O bonds more difficult.

Comparative example 2: the comparative Ru-NC was prepared in this example as follows:
1. preparation of Ru-ZIF-8 (zeolite imidazole skeleton porous crystal material) precursor: firstly, 7.2g of 2-methylimidazole is uniformly dissolved in a methanol solution to obtain a solution I, 3.3g of zinc nitrate and 75mg of ruthenium trichloride are dissolved in a mixed solution of methanol and ethanol to obtain a solution II, wherein the mixed solution of the methanol and the ethanol is prepared by mixing the methanol and the ethanol according to the volume ratio of 1:1, mixing the materials in proportion; pouring the solution II into the solution I rapidly, stirring vigorously at 100r/min for 24 hours at room temperature, and then centrifuging, washing and drying to obtain a Ru-ZIF-8 precursor;

XRD diffraction patterns of Ru-Fe-NC prepared in example 1, NC and Fe-NC prepared in comparative example 1, and Ru-NC prepared in comparative example 2 were tested, and the obtained XRD diffraction patterns are shown in FIG. 5, and it can be seen from FIG. 5 that only diffraction peaks of 002 crystal face and 101 crystal face of carbon appear in the patterns, and that no peaks of metal clusters or nanoparticles of Ru and Fe appear, indicating the existence form of atomic-scale dispersion of Ru and Fe. In FIG. 5, the metals in the three catalysts Ru-Fe-NC, ru-NC, and Fe-NC are all atomically dispersed, and no peak associated with metal particles or clusters, etc. appears. Because there is a sharp peak if there are metal particles or clusters, whereas current XRD has only a steamed bread peak with carbon, it is believed that there are no Ru or Fe related metal particles or clusters, demonstrating atomic scale dispersion of Ru and Fe.
The transmission diagram, the spherical aberration electron microscope diagram and the atomic pair distance measurement schematic diagram of Ru-Fe-NC prepared in example 1 are shown in FIG. 6, and the transmission diagram shows that no Ru and Fe nano particles and clusters exist, and meanwhile, the spherical aberration electron microscope diagram shows that a large number of Ru and Fe atom pairs exist, the brightness of two bright spots in the atom pairs is different, the brightness is related to the atomic number, the brightness of Ru is high, the brightness of Fe is low, and the distance between the two atoms is 0.246nm. In the preparation of Ru-Fe-NC in example 1, ru and M are added in two steps, ru is doped first, fe salt is adsorbed after heat treatment, and heat treatment is performed once. The two metal ions are introduced by twice high-temperature heat treatment, so that the active site density of the bimetallic single-atom catalyst can be controllably improved, alloy nano particles and clusters formed by two metals are prevented from being added simultaneously, and the graphitization degree of the catalyst can be further improved by twice high-temperature heat treatment, so that the stability of the catalyst is improved.
The EXAFS diagram of the Ru and Fe element synchrotron radiation X-ray absorption structure of Ru-Fe-NC prepared in example 1 is shown in FIG. 7, the left side is the K-side EXAFS spectrum K of Ru 2 Weighted fourier transform data, inThere is a distinct peak, mainly due to the coordination of the first shell Ru-N. No observation was made at->The peak is present, which indicates that Ru-Ru metal bond is not present in Ru-Fe-NC. At the same time->There is an additional small peak, which is affected by the adjacent Fe atoms. The right side is the K-edge EXAFS spectrum K of Fe 2 Weighted fourier transform data, in->There is a distinct peak, which is mainly due to the first shell Fe-N coordination. In addition, approximately->There is an extra small peak, different from +.> And->Due to adjacent Ru atoms. According to the extension edge fitting of the synchronous radiation EXAFS, determining that the coordination structure of Ru, fe and N is RuFeN6, the coordination number of Ru and N is 4, the coordination number of Fe and N is 4, the coordination number of Ru and Fe is 1, namely RuN4-FeN4, wherein Ru and Fe share two N, N bridged Ru=N2=Fe structures, and obtaining a structure model graph by combining the synchronous radiation and a data result of a spherical aberration electron microscope, such asFIG. 8 shows that in the drawings, gray represents a C atom, blue represents an N atom, yellow represents a Ru atom, orange represents a Fe atom, and the Ru-Fe-NC structure prepared by the present embodiment is more stable, and the structure adsorbs O 2 When O 2 The method is more prone to being carried out in a bridge adsorption mode, so that the direct fracture of O-O is accelerated, and the oxygen reduction reaction rate is improved.
Testing the electrochemical properties of Ru-Fe-NC prepared in example 1, fe-NC prepared in comparative example and Ru-NC in 0.1M KOH, using a three electrode test system, a glassy carbon electrode as the working electrode, ag/AgCl as the reference electrode, and Pt wire as the counter electrode, activating the Catalyst (CV) by cyclic voltammetry testing, followed by O 2 A Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) test is carried out on saturated 0.1M KOH, the rotating speed is 900r, the voltage range is 1.10-0.00V (vs. RHE), the obtained polarization curve is shown in FIG. 9, and as can be seen from FIG. 9, the Ru-Fe-NC catalyst in 0.1M KOH has excellent performance, and the half-wave potential in an alkaline system is 0.926V, which is superior to that of monoatomic catalysts Ru-NC and Fe-NC.
The four catalysts of Ru-Fe-NC prepared in example 1, fe-NC prepared in comparative example, ru-NC, and commercial Pt/C were used in proton exchange membrane fuel cells to test catalyst performance. Preparing a membrane electrode by adopting a gas diffusion electrode method, firstly loading a commercial Pt/C catalyst and Nafion ionomer on carbon paper 1 to obtain an anode gas diffusion electrode, wherein the loading of the Pt/C catalyst is 0.1mg cm -2 Subsequently, ru-Fe-NC catalyst and Nafion ionomer were supported on carbon paper 2 to obtain a cathode gas diffusion electrode, the Ru-Fe-NC catalyst loading was 3.5mg cm -2 Respectively placing cathode and anode gas diffusion electrodes on two sides of a proton exchange membrane for hot pressing to obtain membrane electrodes, and finally assembling the membrane electrodes, a gasket, a flow field plate, a current collecting plate and an end plate into a proton exchange membrane fuel cell unit for testing the performance of the fuel cell to obtain the anode-cathode hydrogen fuel cell unit in H 2 /O 2 The polarization curve and the power density under the condition are shown in FIG. 10, and it is understood from FIG. 10 that Ru-Fe-NC exhibits an ultra-high peak power density (H 2 /O 2 :1.152W cm -2 ) Close to commercial Pt/C performance. The battery performance of the Ru-Fe-NC catalyst prepared in example 1 was very large relative to that of comparative examples 1 and 2Because the Ru-Fe-NC bimetallic monoatomic catalyst can provide two active sites of Ru-Fe, has stronger adsorption to oxygen and can promote O compared with monoatomic catalysts of Ru-NC and Fe-NC 2 The bridge adsorption and the direct cleavage of O-O bond, and the direct oxygen reduction reaction is conducted directly in a four-electron reaction path, so that the rate of the oxygen reduction reaction of the catalyst is effectively improved. In the Ru-NC and Fe-NC single metal catalysts, the performance of catalyzing the oxygen reduction reaction is not ideal because the reaction site is single.
Comparing the electrochemical oxygen reduction performance of Ru-Fe-NC and Ru-NC and Fe-NC, in 0.1M KOH, the half-wave potential of Ru-Fe-NC is higher than that of Ru-NC and Fe-NC, and in proton exchange membrane fuel cell test, the peak power density of a cell assembled by Ru-Fe-NC is also much higher than that of Ru-NC and Fe-NC. In addition, the H is the direct four-electron path of the Ru-Fe-NC bimetallic single-atom catalyst 2 O 2 Yield is lower than that of Ru-NC and Fe-N, thereby helping to weaken H 2 O 2 Corrosion of the carbon support improves the stability of the catalyst.
Proton exchange membrane fuel cell performance assembled with the Ru-Fe-NC catalyst of example 1 also exceeded the literature reported relevant bimetallic monoatomic catalysts, as shown in table 1.
TABLE 1 comparison of performance of Ru-Fe-NC and proton exchange Membrane Fuel cells assembled with other catalysts
Example 2: this example differs from example 1 in that 100mg of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate in step three was replaced with 100mg of cobalt nitrate, and the other steps and parameters were the same as in example 1 to obtain a Ru-Co bimetallic monoatomic catalyst, designated Ru-Co-NC.
The transmitted EDS facial scan of Ru-Co-NC obtained in this example 2 is shown in FIG. 11, and it can be seen from FIG. 11 that there are no Ru and Co nanoparticles and clusters, ru, co, N and C are uniformly distributed, and no metallic nanoclusters and particles are present, indicating that Ru and Co are present in an atomic dispersed form.
The spherical aberration electron microscope image and the atomic pair distance measurement schematic diagram of Ru-Co-NC obtained in this example 2 are shown in FIG. 12, and it can be seen from FIG. 12 that there are a large number of Ru and Co atomic pairs, the two bright spots in the atomic pair have different brightnesses, the brightness is related to the atomic number, the brightness of Ru is high, the brightness of Co is low, and the distance between the two atoms is 0.239nm.
Testing the electrochemical properties of Ru-Co-NC obtained in this example 2, using a three electrode test system with a glassy carbon electrode as the working electrode, ag/AgCl as the reference electrode, and Pt wire as the counter electrode, activating the Catalyst (CV) by cyclic voltammetry testing, followed by O 2 The saturated 0.1M KOH was subjected to a Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) test at a rotation speed of 900r and a voltage range of 1.10-0.00V (vs. RHE), and the resulting polarization curve is shown in FIG. 13. As can be seen from FIG. 13, ru-Co-NC also shows excellent oxygen reduction performance in 0.1M KOH, and its half-wave potential reaches 0.905V.
